Rahul
graduated in 2008 - Congratulations!
MATTHEW
KRAUSHAR
UNDERGRADUATE
(2006-2008) -
RESEARCH
Matt
graduated in 2008 and now works as a research assistant
for our colleague and collaborator Chris Henderson.
ANINDYA
SEN
POSTDOC
(2005-2007)
Anindya
identified a cascade of RNA binding proteins that act as
key regulators of synapse growth and function. The
proteins he found are conserved in humans and are
associated with neurological disease. Anindya is
continuing his postdoctoral training at Harvard in the
lab of our collaborator Spyros
Artavanis-Tsakonas.
YANG
LIU
UNDERGRADUATE
(2006-2007) -
RESEARCH
Yang worked
in the lab as part of the SURF program and BIOL C3500.
She was instrumental in a very successful screen for
novel RNA regulators of NMJ structure. Yang is now
working in Washington DC before attending Medical School.
PAUL (PAO-SHU)
WU
GRADUATE
STUDENT (2005-2006)
MA
Biotechnology
Paul
carried out his MA research on the "Development,
Structure and Plasticity of a Drosophila Neuromuscular
Junction Synapse" in the lab as part the requirements for
his Masters Degree in Biotechnology from the Department
of Biological Sciences, Columbia University. Paul
graduated with honors and learned to love flies so much
that he is now undertaking a Ph.D. on Drosophila nervous
system development at the University of Cambridge,
England.
